.SH "NAME"
nvme-dapustor-smart-log-add \- Send NVMe DapuStor Additional SMART log page request, returns result and log
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
.nf
\fInvme dapustor smart\-log\-add\fR <device> [\-\-namespace\-id=<nsid> | \-n <nsid>]
                        [\-\-raw\-binary | \-b] [\-\-json | \-j]
.fi
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
Retrieves the NVMe DapuStor Additional SMART log page from the device and provides the returned structure\&.
.sp
The <device> parameter is mandatory and may be either the NVMe character device (ex: /dev/nvme0), or a namespace block device (ex: /dev/nvme0n1)\&.
.sp
On success, the returned smart log structure may be returned in one of several ways depending on the option flags; the structure may parsed by the program and printed in a readable format or the raw buffer may be printed to stdout for another program to parse\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\-n <nsid>, \-\-namespace\-id=<nsid>
.RS 4
Retrieve the Additional SMART log for the given nsid\&. This is optional and its success may depend on the device\(cqs capabilities to provide this log on a per\-namespace basis (see the NVMe Identify Controller for this capability)\&. The default nsid to use is 0xffffffff for the device global SMART log\&.
.RE
.PP
\-b, \-\-raw\-binary
.RS 4
Print the raw DapuStor Additional SMART log buffer to stdout\&.
.RE
.PP
\-j, \-\-json
.RS 4
Dump output in json format\&.

.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
Print the DapuStor Additional SMART log page in a human readable format:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
# nvme dapustor smart\-log\-add /dev/nvme0
.fi

.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
Print the raw DapuStor Additional SMART log to a file:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
# nvme dapustor smart\-log\-add /dev/nvme0 \-\-raw\-binary > smart_log\&.raw
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.sp
It is probably a bad idea to not redirect stdout when using this mode\&.
